Hypsometric tints

First map of oceanic bathymetry, derived from USS Dolphin (1836) data

The Moon with hypsometric tints of red for the highest points and purple for the lowest.

Compare the information available in this image of a slightly different face of the Moon to the WorldWind depiction above.

Hypsometric tints are colors used to indicate elevation, usually together with contour lines. They can be used to depict ranges of elevation as bands of color, usually in a graduated scheme, or as a color ramp applied to contour lines themselves. A typical scheme progresses from dark greens for lower elevations up through yellows/browns, and on to grays and white at the highest elevations. Hypsometric tinting of maps and globes is often accompanied by a similar method of bathymetric tinting to convey depth of oceans; lighter shades of blue represent shallower water such as the continental shelf and darker shades deeper regions.
